From the creator of the beloved and universally acclaimed television series BoJack Horseman, a fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about love - the best and worst thing in the universe.

Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. The stories comprise a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle-class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written when Irish nationalism was at its peak, and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences.

A classic tale of the state preventing recourse from their citizens for wrongs done to them. A metaphor like Orwell's 1984. Moving, frightening, and pure Kafka. A must listen.

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of 'They Shall Not Grow Old', a short, gripping story of life in wartime from Roald Dahl, the master of the shocking tale.

The eight masterly stories in this new collection are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From nostalgic memories of youth, meditations on music and an ardent love of baseball to dreamlike scenarios, an encounter with a talking monkey and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator who may or may not be Murakami himself is present. Is it memoir or fiction? The listener decides.

David Huerta cree en el talante subversivo de la gente que lee libros. La certeza de que hay algo revolucionario en la relación del lector con la página escrita anima esta colección de ensayos y reseñas, publicados entre 2001 y 2008 en el suplemento Hoja por Hoja , ejemplos nítidos de cómo se pueden colocar las obras del ayer en la coyuntura presente o de qué debe hacerse para convertir un párrafo aislado, un verso huérfano, en la clave para entender un fragmento de la realidad.

En los cuentos de Julio Cortázar, el juego es cosa seria: está en la estructura de los relatos, en el fino tejido de los diversos planos narrativos e incluso en las reglas que se imponen los propios personajes a riesgo de pagar con la vida. Acaso ello explique el gusto cortazariano por la transgresión, esa tendencia a disolver el orden establecido.

A towering figure in the pantheon of twentieth-century literature, Thomas Mann has often been perceived as a dry and forbidding writer—"the starched collar," as Bertolt Brecht once called him. But in fact, his fiction is lively, humane, sometimes hilarious. In these fresh renderings of his best short work, award-winning translator Damion Searls casts new light on this underappreciated aspect of Mann's genius.
